First molecular evidence of potential Culicoides vectors implicated in bluetongue virus transmission in Morocco
Bluetongue is a non-contagious viral disease that affects both domestic and wild ruminants. It is transmitted primarily by small hematophagous Diptera belonging to the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).... (Source: Parasites and Vectors)

The Simulation Method as an Appropriate Solution for Developing the Interactional Soft Skills of Midwife Practitioners in Morocco: A Pilot Study
Nurses and midwives often think hard skills are the most critical and important element in their practice. But the success of any organization depends primarily on the capabilities of its staff, and the type of interaction and collaboration they are able to achieve. Nowadays, the standpoint has evolved and staff is considered as an important element for their ability to conduct and perform a certain occupation, and for their transversal skills, known as “soft skills.” The concept of soft skills or non-technical skills (NTS) is used to indicate, “interpersonal qualities, also known as people skills, and personal attri...

Enhancing groundwater vulnerability assessment for improved environmental management: addressing a critical environmental concern
This study aimed to enhance GWVA by incorporating new layers, such as land use, and adjusting parameter rates based on a comprehensive sensitivity analysis. The results demonstrate a significant increase in Pearson correlation values (PCV) between the produced GVMs and measured nitrate concentrations. For instance, the PCV for the DRASTIC method improved from 0.42 to 0.75 after adding the land use layer and adjusting parameter rates using the Wilcoxon method. These findings offer valuable insights for accurately assessing groundwater vulnerability in areas with similar hazards and hydrological conditions, particularly in s...
